"She passed away three months ago from heat exhaustion. She was only 2 years old. I was driving while my boyfriend held her as we drove to the vet. She died before we got there. I am now in grief therapy. I expressed my grief to my boyfriend, and he has expressed his to me. I'm adamant about not wanting another dog."
"You are neither unreasonable nor selfish. What your boyfriend did was inconsiderate and underhanded and showed disregard for your feelings. At the very least, you deserve an apology. That dog should be returned to the breeder or rescue from which it came. However, while I don't blame you for having second thoughts about the relationship after this man's display of insensitivity, after 12 years (and three kids) ending the relationship may be impractical."
A couple of 12 years share two children and expect a third. Their family dog Astro died three months ago from heat exhaustion while being driven to the vet. The woman entered grief therapy and insisted on not getting another dog. The boyfriend agreed to delay acquiring another dog for about a year but brought home a new dog without warning that is the same breed and color as Astro. The woman feels heartbroken, betrayed, and unable to compromise, and she is considering ending the relationship. Advice notes she deserves an apology and suggests returning the dog while weighing practical family considerations.
